(2021·浙江湖州·模拟预测)How to Get More Time in a Day
Do you feel like there are never enough hours in a day Are you always behind on your tasks If so, here are some tips to help you take control of your time.
____21____ Writing down the things you need to get done removes the stress of trying to keep track of them mentally. What’s more, it will be easier to make a plan to address your tasks.
When making your to-do list, be aware of unrealistic expectations. If your list is too long, you’ll feel discouraged when you can’t get through it. ____22____ Decide what absolutely needs to be done that day and what can be put off to the next.

At the end of the day, it’s important to give your mind and body a chance to rest. Take breaks to stop, breathe, and clear your thoughts, and don’t let mounting duties prevent you from getting enough sleep.____25____A.You can begin by making a to-do list.
